Students say they support their teachers, but they want campus to return to normal.
"This is not the same. It doesn't feel the same. We're not learning what we're supposed to be learning," said graduate student Maria Arrez. "Yeah, because it's like you want to come and get whatever education you think they're going to give you, but then you also want to be there for your teachers," said graduate student Xochitl Regalado.
The university says campus is open and students should attend class even though their usual professors won't be there. A spokesperson for the university said the counteroffer from the union is well above what the university can afford and also released this statement.
